I have a friend that runs them. mileage is good, traction is good and track well on rain grooved roads and grid bridges. I run Dunlop Elite III's and have the same recommendation.

Just put one on the rear. It tracks and sticks real well in dry weather. Can't comment on how it is in the rain as we haven't had any since I put it one. It ran me $128, so it was cheaper than the OEM tire. I got 8k out of the Dunlop. If these get the me over 10k I'll be happy!

relli, I put a set on my Ultra the first of June beforeI went on a trip up in the Adirondacks. So far, I like them. I got caught in some bad rain on the way up for an hour and a half and we ran along about 70-72 mph like it was dry pavement. Also in the mountains it was wet and they stuck like glue in the corners. In fact, a few time on the dry roads, I scraped the metal mounts that the floor boards mount on. Thats the first set of thesetires I have ran and so far, I don't have any complaints with them. I think I've only got about 3600 miles on them, so I don't know what kind of mileage I will get out of them. They don't look like they have worn much at all yet.

Put a set on 05 ultra and loved them. Great feel and very grippy, the best tyre I have had in the wet, but I had one front tyre break a belt of malfunction (had huge runout). Ordered another one off same importer and the shop said it had a lump or slightly out of round when they fitted it. I have taken all them off and still waiting for any money or warranty on the two front tyres six months later. Great tyres if there round.

I am running them now and am very happy with them. I noticed a big improvement in handling, I only have about a 1000 miles on them now but so far I am impressed. They also cost less than Dunlaps.
